Construction to build a wash crossing in the park will begin the week of October 19, 2026. The project is expected to be completed in May 2027. Park activities will not be impacted, but there will be construction vehicles, noise and workers present on the main road into the park. Please stay tuned for updates as work progresses.
Horseback Riding
Explore the trails of Catalina State Park by horseback! Equestrians love the beautiful scenery and trail options for riders of all levels. Catalina State Park offers horseback riding activities through our concessionaire, Rancho De Los Cerros. You can find out how to book a horseback ride by visiting their website.
Individual equestrians are welcome to enjoy the beautiful multi-use trails at the park (see the park map and look for the shared-use trail designation; not permitted on the nature trail, birding trail, and Romero Ruin Interpretive Trail, or in picnic/camping areas or on paved roads.). An equestrian staging and camping area with 16 pens are available on a first-come, first-served basis (standard fees apply; learn more at the park's Facility Information).
